MakerBot has announced the resignation of CEO Jonathan Jaglom and the appointment of company president, Nadav Goshen as his successor.

During the last two years, Jaglom and Goshen have worked closely together, leading MakerBot’s reorganisation and strategic shift. Jaglom has decided to leave to return to Israel and spend more time with his family.

“I joined MakerBot two years ago to lead the turnaround of the company and I’m proud of what we’ve been able to achieve in such a short time,” said Jaglom. “We have defined a new strategic direction, completely revamped the company’s quality control processes, and successfully launched a new line-up of products.

“Having put the company on a new track and put in place a new organisational structure, I believe that now is the right time for me to step back and spend more time with my young family. Nadav Goshen has been crucial in defining MakerBot’s new direction and he is the ideal candidate to lead the company on its new path.”

Goshen has over 15 years experience leading turnarounds at tech companies and his expertise lies in defining new products and business models, as well as growing digital ecosystems. Prior to joining MakerBot, Goshen was involved in private equity investments in mobile and tech. He also served as CEO for a growing ad-tech company, as well as holding similar roles in other technology-focused firms. Now, he’s hoping to continue the work of Jaglom and oversee MakerBot’s continued growth.

“I’m excited to continue working towards our vision of putting a desktop 3D printer in ever classroom and on the desk of every designer and engineer,” said Goshen. “MakerBot today is in a much stronger position and I would like to thank Jonathon for his contributions. I look forward to leading the company and continuing to build out our 3D printing solutions for professionals and educators.”

Under Jaglom, MakerBot has gone through a cultural shift to prioritise product quality and listening more closely to its customers. This included the recent launch of a range of 3D printers designed for professionals, engineers and educators, which allow designers a faster and more effective way to develop ideas, and educators a better way to integrate 3D printing into the classroom.
